A novel real-time assistive hip-wearable exoskeleton robot based on motion prediction for lower extremity rehabilitation in subacute stroke: a single-blinded, randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A novel real-time assistive hip-wearable exoskeleton robot is developed based on motion prediction for stroke patients, however its rehabilitation efficacy is not yet clear.This study aimed to explore the effect of this robot on lower extremity rehabilitation in subacute stroke patients, focusing on gait function, with lower limb motor impairment, and balance being considered secondary outcomes.

Methods

The investigation enrolled 40 subacute stroke patients, randomly assigned to two groups: the robot-assisted gait training(RAGT) group and a control group.The control group underwent conventional rehabilitation and therapist-assisted gait training, while the RAGT group received conventional therapy supplemented with robot-assisted training. Each group participated i
